CP Range of Lamps for Fresnel and Spotlight Fittings
As the result of extensive and sustained development work, much of it original, GE are able to offer a
comprehensive range of lamps of quartz construction, operating on the tungsten halogen principle for
all Television Studio, ‘motion picture’, and Theatre lighting purposes.
GE has been strongly supported by the television and film industries in its decision to discontinue glass
lamps for studio lighting purposes. This is because the industry has appreciated the financial
advantages of quartz halogen lamps, their reliability and virtually constant colour temperature.
The increase in the use of the lamps we now manufacture is due to the GE policy of exploiting the
important advantages of compact size offered by quartz halogen construction.
As a result GE are able to supply quartz halogen lamps for use in Fresnel and spotlight fittings from 300
watts to 10,000 watts. These lamps employ a wide range of commonly accepted bases. This gives
fittings manufacturers a comprehensive range of compact lamps and permits the construction of
smaller, lighter and more efficient luminaires.
